OK. Thank you.

I've been compiling C code on my STe using Megamax Laser C, but was recently pointed to the m68K-atari-mint cross compiler and I'm trying to figure out how it all works. Running it in CYGWIN, I have successfully compiled Hello World and ran it in Hatari. Now, there are a lot of source files that inc...

Ah. Ok. Thanks.

I sent a message to the Admin, but I haven’t received a response.

I’ve replied to a PM, but the message appears to be stuck in the Outbox. It doesn’t appear in sent items either. The same thing happens if I send a new PM, it’s stuck in the Outbox.

Help!

Thanks for the info. I found a PDF for the Atari Compendium- it’s one helluva reference guide!

Great, thanks. I’ll look into these.

Is there a way to interrogate what language TOS is in C? For example, if it’s US English, the date will be displayed as MM/DD/YY, if any european language it’ll be displayed DD/MM/YY.

Yes, the sscanf function does look a much neater approach.

I’ve programmed in other languages before, but I want to develop an accessory for my STe and C appeared to tick the box.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll take a look at them.

What is the correct method of converting a string to an integer? Can you recommend any good C guides? Thanks.

You’re correct. It’s missing the value for n.
I’ll stick with it. I find debugging programs helps the learning process!!

Thanks. Yes, I understand now. So, looking at the part of the code that sets the clock to the new date won’t work after the year 1999 as it’s subtracting 80:-
Let me see if I can figure it out myself

Ok, but at the end of the previous line :-
If the the date returned for example is 19 (years from 1980) add the 80 = 99 already.

I’m reading the C programming guide C-Manship Complete and have come across a line that I don’t understand what it’s doing:- year = year % 100; This is part of the date and time example in chapter 23. I understand that it’s getting the date from the ST, converting the bits and adding 80 to get the y...

faint jail bar? Uhmm.... I've two BL702A with my STe and MegaSTe and I don't see that problem. :shrug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X36AMT85icU Nice setup! What are the pixel and phase clock settings you are using for each of the resolutions? Your adapter looks very neat. Is that the new one ava...

I've just picked up the Benq BL702 monitor after hearing that it's able to go down to 15Hz and the best part was that Amazon UK shipped it over to me here in the US for just under a Fiver! :D :D :D :D I've hooked it up to the STe using the new version of Best Electronics multisync VGA cable. Output ...

What it should look like.

Exxos has confirmed that the live and neutral have been reversed in the above image. It still would work, but switching neutral isn't the correct way.

Yea, but I can't find an email address on his website.I'll PM him.

110vexxossw.jpg I purchased one of these PSU's from Exxos as I live in the US, but I'm worried by the 110v wiring instructions as shown in the above image from the Exxos website. In UK blue is Neutral, white in the US, so why is it going to the live socket pin? Brown is live (black in US) so why is...

No, it does not.

Ok. Thanks.

Had a quick look and it looks OK. You may want to make sure you get the right lead spacing (not critical but helps) and check if the HV capacitors on the PSU are of the snap-in type. As far as I can tell, the original are snap-in, but the replacement ones I chose are not. Does it matter? Just makes...

EPCOS are out of stock with my normal supplier unfortunately, but I do have Panasonic ones on my parts list which I've attached. Do they look OK to you? Thanks.

mpattonm wrote:Safe bet is to get new ones of same capacity and if possible (due to dimension concerns) of higher voltage. Pick 105C line.

Thanks for the advice.

Anyone?

Since moving to the USA a few years ago, I've been thinking about replacing the euro 220v psu in my STe with a 110v psu and recently I came across half a STe (just the case, mainboard & psu) on eBay which I eventually bought. When it arrived I was surprised to find that the psu is 110v 220v dual vol...
